Regarding How to Talk about the Dead
Jeff Newberry's one of our great poets of place--threading memory through local salt and sod to arrive at the universal. And his poems are prayers--quiet and resonant. Not so much tablets of wax as bees. Each poem one tiny traveler bringing home browsed and gleaned and bumped against flowers and lees. Inside Newberry's deft sensory weaves, the honey isn't in the lion's head: no, it's in our ears, on our eyes, and painted thick across our mouths. And always the bittersweet and the sweet intertwine. I finished this shining book and sat very still for a long time. Such is the rooted soaring you are in for. In How to Talk about the Dead, each walking stick is a dowsing rod.
-Abraham Smith, author of Insomniac Sentinel & Dear Weirdo
There is a progress situated fully in this new collection by Jeff Newberry beginning in the hard, green, at times bitter, realizations grown from childhood innocence and reprisals of the nuclear family set in home ground and waters of his native Gulf Coastal Florida and South Georgia. Questions of being continually surface in a determined self-examining poesis cast throughout this volume, where a natural ripening and softening occurs in the author's transcendence from fathered to father, fledgling to provider as he, with skilled hands and full-grown voice, traverses the soul's terrain. Herein you'll find some of the most miraculous tenderness ever committed to verse in a mortal suite devoted to his beloved just-born daughter, thread certain needles of realization beyond, and like whole life arrive at the gates of certain heaven wondering, as must we all, whether to go in.
-Sean Sexton, author of Portals and May Darkness Restore.
